Zen and the Reason I Am Still a Teacher ("This Book Changed My Life" Write-Off)

Date of Review:  May 19, 2002

Date of Review:  Jun 9, 2000
The Bottom Line: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a deep philosophical contemplation of quality and relativity wrapped in a father/son motorcycle trip.
Review: When I was little I was sitting in the back of a car riding to a party when one of my older brother's friends started talking to the driver. The friend said that when he was little he had looked at maps and seen the different color for each state...
